Authorities have arrested the mother of one of two escapees from an eastern Indiana jail.

The Fayette County Sheriff's Office said Monday that 60-year-old Paula Potters of Connersville faces a preliminary charge of assisting a criminal for providing food and clothing to Michael Roberts after he and her son, Chadwick Heath, escaped the county jail Friday night. Under Indiana law, Potters cannot be charged with helping her son evade arrest.
